Joe Flacco

The Ravens' quarterback is about to become a father for the second time. Flacco disclosed Monday morning that his wife, Dana, is expecting their second child. They were both on hand for the Super Bowl MVP news conference, at which he was presented with the keys to a 2014 Corvette Stingray. Flacco said they learned of the news just two weeks ago. "We're excited," he said. The couple had a son named Stephen Vincent Flacco on June 13. The Flaccos told their family about the first pregnancy at Thanksgiving last year - when the team also played the 49ers. "It's a good-luck thing," Flacco said.

The 49ers' running back isn't sure the better team won the Super Bowl. "It's tough," Gore said. "I just feel like we (were) the better team. They got away with one today. We showed we were the better team. It was just a couple of plays here, a couple of plays there." Gore also wasn't disappointed on the late 4th-and-goal decision to throw to Michael Crabtree rather than try a run, though he averaged 5.8 yards per carry in the game. "That's why we've got coaches," Gore said. "Every player wanted the ball at that time, but Coach made a decision, and we tried our best to make it happen."
